I am new to OneNote and just loving it!!! I’m even considering changing my blackberry device (which I have been for 8 years!) to HDC HD2 to get OneNote on my Mobile Device. It it worth changing phones? I have the 2010 Beta version on a 64Bit.

Does OneNote 2010 Mobile provide sketching? As an engineer I need to enter sketches while in the field and I’ve just been astounded that this single, critical feature has been omitted from the PPC versions in the past!

I have Office 2010 beta 32-bit, Windows 7, and Office Mobile 2010, and OneNote will no longer sync (previously used Office 2007). In ActiveSync on the mobile, there are now 3 (three) entries for OneNote Mobile, and of course, the settings can only be modified on the PC. If I disable syncing of OneNote, ONE of the 3 entries in A/S on the mobile gets unchecked. The other two are still checked. I only tried Office 2010 this soon because of the expanded OneNote syncing functionality! Thanks.

“Ink Equation” – found the button while customizing the Quick Access Toolbar – but its always ‘greyed out’ and for the life of me I cannot get it to activate! Anyone?

I have the same issue not sync with my WM 6.5 HD2 or windows live. running 64bit W7 and full version office 2010 (not beta) 32bit.

Still no search-and-replace? There’s an add-in that some hero wrote for OneNote 2007, but it doesn’t work well at all. Search-and-replace is such a universal editing feature that it’s lack, even in earlier versions, was a real surprise to me. It makes no sense at all that such a basic function of text editing would still be missing while features that must have been a lot harder to implement have been added.

I’m using ms office 2010 beta on a win 7 64 bit but have the 32bit beta installed. My pda is webos and not windows mobile. What is the thoughts on sync with other mobile platforms?

Would really help.

Thanks

When I try and send information from either Outlook or the Web to OneNote, I continue to get the following message: “OneNote cannot find the destination section. Make sure that the section was not deleted, is not password protected, and is not marked read-only. To specify a different destination section in OneNote, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click Outlook Integration.”

This is the 2007 instructions because OneNote does not have a “tools” menu. I have been able to set up the integration correctly in OneNote on the “send to OneNote” tab in options. Even after doing this, I continue to get this error message. Does anybody have a way to help fix this? I have searched and have not been able to find a fix.

What would be nice is a way to keep the cursor fixed in one place; so as you type your not always looking at the bottom of the screen. When in docked mode, you just end up typing in a little corner where its harder to draw something new or organize the bullets. thats my preference at least. other than that, i love this program; only thing i have to take to school now.

I am running OneNote 2010 Beta on Windows Vista. I converted my 2007 notebooks to 2010 format. As a math graduate student, I am finding that when I handwrite equations in my notes, OneNote scrambles them beyond recognition (moving portions of equations to different parts of the page.) Can anyone tell me why this may be happening? Pen Flicks are off and well as the buttons on my pen disabled.

Thanks!

By: Omer

Omer — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 12:33:28 +0000

OK, nevermind.
I got it to work.
The OneNote Notebooks were in 2007 version.
After conversion it all worked fine.

By: Omer

Omer — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 12:27:18 +0000

I’m a Uni student in Computer Science.
I was really hoping to combine the math input Panel on my Windows7 with the OneNote 2010 but it doesn’t seem to insert the equations in (have to work it through word).
Also, the equation option is not working (is it because I don’t have a tablet PC?)
Any ideas?

What is the suggesting for archiving old notes in 2010 version? Old Onenote had an “archive” notebook feature? Should I just create an “archive” notebook and drag old pages there that I no longer want to see?

By: Hector

Hector — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:32:11 +0000

I’m having the exact same problem. Was able to sync OneNote 2007, but there is no way to do it with OneNote 2010.

By: Jim Welborne

Jim Welborne — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:40:02 +0000

I also cannot synch my notes. I have WM6.5 on a Samsung Jack using AT&T. I am running Office 2020 Beta on a Windows 7 PC running Windows Mobile Device Center Version 6.1.6965

Please keep me informed on any progress.

I thought we would be able to crop images in onenote2010??? It would also be nice if one note could have paper sizes larger than 22 inches.

By: Chloe

Chloe — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:42:25 +0000

As a student, I like to print out my notes, but OneNote offers no option for page breaks, causing images to be cut if they happen to lay on the margins. My only known way to counter this is to set the template to a Letter size, but this adds extra notebook pages.

It would be great if notebooks would be more printer friendly! Thanks!

I had not upgraded my notebook from 2007 to 2010 format. Versioning seems to be available now.

By: Martin

Martin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:11:15 +0000

Is the page versioning available yet? In my OneNote 2010, the version buttons are grayed out.
Will page versioning only available for shared notebooks?

My mistake: this commad is just burried in the menu. I customized my commands and am now happy!

Was the “Insert extra space” feature removed? Isn’t that an essential feature for organized note-taking? I am having trouble finding a work around for this issue in OneNote 2010.

By: Michael Elmgreen

Michael Elmgreen — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:57:31 +0000

I’m having the same problem Michael. I don’t see the option to right click on an outloook appointment and see the “meeting notes” button which triggered a new notebook page with the meeting details. I’m on Windows 7, 32-bit Office. Can you help?

By: Bob

Bob — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:15:53 +0000

I have heard that OneNote 2010 may be able to automatically capture RSS feeds and add them to a notebook page. Is that true? That sould be an excellent feature.

Is there a way just to install OneNote 2010 beta and not the other Office 2010 beta applications? I am using a work computer and just want to try out OneNote 2010.

I still have OneNote 2007 and Outlook 2007 installed on 32bit XP Pro SP3. I can’t seem to create outlook tasks in OneNote 2010 and I keep getting error messages that Outlook is either installed incorrectly or is not the default email client, although it is. I also have Outlook 2010 installed, but am not using it on my work computer. Will OneNote 2010 work with Outlook 2007?

By: Matt

Matt — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 05:00:48 +0000

Is OneNote going to provide a way to email notes, clips and pics like Evernote? What about support on other mobiles such as Palm Pre and Iphone?

When printing to OneNote, is there a way to make it print one, continuous image as opposed to separate pages with margins?

I’m having trouble linking my Outlook 2010 meeting notes to Onenote 2010. The OneNote link icon does not appear on the ribbon anywhere, nor do I find the ability to link meeting or task to onenote.

I”m using vista and the 32 bit professional onenote 2010. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

How do you get the mobile version of the program to load onto your device? I don’t see an option in any of the menu options. Syncing with WM 5.0 or WM 6.0 smartphone (PC to phone, not just one way phone to PC) is what was missing in OneNote 2007. Hope this will work in 2010!
Thanks!

This feature is not yet available. For more information, please see the Frequently Asked Questions page on this site.

Right-click options for inserted documents as icons include Open, Save As, Insert as Printout, Open Original, and Copy Link to Original. I really like your idea to add a “Send to…” command here. I’ll pass this on to the product team. Thanks for the suggestion!

You can clean up pages easily and quickly by dragging note containers to a different location. To show a note container, simply hover the mouse pointer over a paragraph of text and you should see a box appear around the text or object.

Hey Shawn, thanks for following up. We’re getting mixed reports about synching issues in either mode and are looking into it. As soon as there’s new info to share, we’ll post it here. I may follow up with you in e-mail as well, if that’s okay. Meanwhile, thanks for your patience.

I am using 32-bit OneNote 2010 beta on Windows XP Pro. I am unable to create a “web based” notebook. I believe this feature creates the notebook on your SkyDrive. But, for me, it says “this is currently not supported!” Anyone else have the same problem?

By: Chris

Chris — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 09:19:21 +0000

Does the new version allow you to right click documents embedded in a page and use send to, it bugs me having to save the attachments out and send them outside one note?

I switched to the 32 bit version of Office 2010 and still haven’t been able to sync. Has anyone gotten it to work? If so, are you using 32/64 Windows, 32/64 Mobile Device Center and 32/64 Office 2010?

I’m using 64 Windows, 64 Mobile Device Center and 32 Office 2010.

OMG ! I just think about a new feature for OneNote .
Auto paste clipboard , when you turns this feature on, just copy, i’ll auto paste to your note .
It’s really great , OneNote is better and no more clipboard manager needed :)

Donnell, are you using the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the Office 2010 Beta? Also, what version and edition of Windows are you using?

By: pgmarshall

pgmarshall — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:13:42 +0000

Is there any way to clean up pages? To remove empty space from deleted notes and to tile the remaining notes?

By: Donnell

Donnell — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:30:26 +0000

I’m having trouble linking my Outlook 2010 meeting notes to Onenote 2010. In the Tech Preview, I was able to create a Onenote meeting note from my Outlook appoint which remained in sync.

Whenever I try to create a Onenote note from an Outlook meeting with the 2010 beta, a new note is created. I liked being able to access my Onenote meeting notes through my Outlook calendar. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Thanks.

I am using 32bit version of OneNote 2010 beta on Windows and I now cannot sync to my WM6.5 phone. Why!?

By: Michael C. Oldenburg [MSFT]

Michael C. Oldenburg [MSFT] — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:24:32 +0000

Bob, are you working with shared notebooks that won’t open from their existing shortcuts? If so, try re-opening these notebooks manually. Use the File > Open > Open Notebook command to navigate to and then re-open any of your shared notebooks that you’re trying to access. Does that solve the problem?

By: Bob

Bob — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:14:22 +0000

I have some notebooks that won’t open (and ofcourse they are my main notebooks), they show up as “not connected”. I can’t find any plcae that tells me how to connect them, is there a way?

Thank you. I am running Office 2010 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit with Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 64 bit. That must explain my issue. (Perhaps it explains my issue with Outlook 2010 not syncing to my phone either.)

By: Tim

Tim — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:57:57 +0000

64 bit os is ok, as long as you are running office 2010 32 bit, everything works so far.

By: Daniel Escapa [MSFT]

Daniel Escapa [MSFT] — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:02:46 +0000

Shawn – If you are running on a x64 bit OS this is a known issue with the OneNote 2010 beta. OneNote Mobile sync only works on 32bit machines right now. I imagine this is your problem.

Nick – Glad to hear, just download and try out the new version!

I’ve been syncing OneNote 2007 with my Windows phone and it has made a very paperless lifestyle for me. However, I can’t get OneNote 2010 to sync. What am I missing? What do I need to set up/install? I’ve tried resetting my phone and installed Office Mobile 2010 beta, but alas no success.

As a OneNote 2007 user, I’m constantly syncing between three computers on a variety of projects (one at the office, two at home). I’m very excited to hear about all of the new sharing and collaboration features — especially the highlighting of unread notes! Thanks!
